The Blind Boss of'Frisco,

The announcement was recently made
that "ChIis" Buckley. the blind boss of CAL
ifornia. has returned from a trip 20 Europe.
where he went to have q consultation as to
his eyes, and has ascertaIned that he can
never regain his sight. He was prepared to
pay $50. 600 to any of the eminent oculists of
Europe who would even give him the hope
that he might ultiD'steiy recover his sight,
but the case is said TO be hopeless. Buckley
is one of the peculiar products OF Pacific
coast politics and has had an extraordinary
career. He has been for years a leader OF
the San Francisco Democracy and is now
Chairman of the Democratic State Central
Committee. He has progressed from the
position OF a small saloon keeper and ward
stI kPr TO that OF a manager OF the great
political machine, and has accomplished all
this while being practically blind. There

an aptitude for ward politics, and soon be.
came The rival of "Al' Fritz, the local Dem
ocratic boss. The two soon entered into a
political partnership and opened a saloon
which became Democratic Headquarters.
Their first movement IN the direction OF

They Like Sauerkraut.

The busiest persons in Reading. Pa. at
present are those of q calling which probs-
bly, Is unknown in any other place in this
country. Thai calling is the professional
emitting of cabbage for saurerkraut making.
The cutter travels about the city from house
TO house from the latter part OF October uu-
I'll the middle of November, by which time
the sauerkraut making season is oyer. The
father OF the business is Michael Bruckmer,
who has cut ca obage for Readings best
families for many years There are few
families in that city. from the highest 10 the
lowest, that fail to put down a supply Of
sauerkraut every fall. BruckmaD alone
cuts up two hundred heads of cabbage day
during the puttingdown season. His cab
bage-cutter be imported from Germany, and
he says that there is not another Ike It in
this country.
1t is only the well-to-do families and sa-
Ioon-Keepers who have their cabbage cut,
although the charge Is only one cent head.
The saloon keepers are the best customers
OF the cabtage-cutters, for they order hun.
dreds of heads cut at a tine. Saurrkraut
for lunch Is one of the delicacles of Reading
all the year round.
During the last half OF October and the
first half of November, Cutter Bruckman es
Inmates there ara no less than two thousand
heads of cabbage cut every day for sauer-
Erant in Reading. or sixty thousand heads
for the season. Those who do not hire theI-
kraut stock cut have cutters of their own, or
wait their turn TO borrow OF neighbor who
has. No Reading household is exactly com
plete without a cabbage-cntter. The person
VINO cuts cabbage for kraEt professionally
has nothing to do with the making of rue
kraut. This is done by the family, and the
familI in B-iks county that does not know
all the mysteries of ssuerkraut making had
better keep its ignorance TO itself. No fam
lily puts down less than ten heads OF cab
oake in pickle to "rIpen" into kraut, while
the cutter frequently has a Job OF a hun
dred heads or more TO cut at q single house,
The housewife at the head Of an establish
ment that it takes q thousand dollars a year
to support has the same recipe for putting
down her kraut as the one her washwomsn
uses. and when her kraut Is ripe it don't
smell bit better for its arstocratic sur
ronndiDRs. You may break, you may chop
up the soueTkraut barrel If you will, but
you'll recognize its recent occupant by a
sniff Of it still. few families buy their
supply of kraut from farmers, but the proper
thing is TO have 1t made right in the house.
